TFC also has academies in London and Windsor, but I won't go that far. TFC Academy has a handful of Niagara kids, the way property and real estate keeps getting developed pretty much one city touching the other with limited greenspace south of Toronto.

Well then, using that math and logic, I assume anyone coming out of Ottawa will now be claimed as "belonging to the Greater Madrid Region"? apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 A lot of present and former national team players have come out of the Toronto area and I won’t include Hamilton to Niagara . Moreover, it’s should not come as a surprise when considering the population of the GTA . I’m sure it’s like that for most countries, the area with the most population will usually see a lot of players coming from that area , it is what it is .

SwedishBadMan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 True, Brampton carries the rest of the country in this regard. You could make an entirely Brampton XI and they would probably beat the non-Bramptonians 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I learned today that Daniel's dad Patrick was a very accomplished Canadian university basketball player: Patrick Jebbison - Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame (mbhof.com) After learning this couldn't help but notice in the match today that he's a tall boy for 17. toontownman, Addona, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Hamilton guys know they just get lumped in as from TO?? Hehehehehe. The extended Greater Toronto Area is actually called the "Golden Horseshoe" and Hamilton is probably less than a 45 minute drive from Etobicoke, Toronto. Not much difference than Vancouver & a place like Langley. Edited May 20, 2021 by Corazon Obinna and Macksam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC2017 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 He's still a ways away from the senior side for England. Especially with Kane, Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, Foden, Grealish, Saka, Sterling and Watkins all firmly ahead of him. Then you have the secondary group of players who are all also ahead with Calvert-Lewin, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi, and Nketiah. England is a hype factory, next year I wouldn't be surprised if some random teenager scores a few goals in the Prem and he becomes alll the rave. I just hope Jebbison enjoys his time with the U19 squad. This is valuable experience whether or not he actually plays for the English senior side.

If you ask me, he's clearly committed to Canada, but he'd be a fool to turn down an England youth call-up. If he has ambitions of leaving for a bigger club, an England call-up boosts your stock tremendously. If we make 2022, don't be surprised if he comes. But I don't see him joining us for qualifiers or Gold Cup. That being said, making 2022 shows that we are at least a competent footballing nation, and that is what it would take to get him on board. Bomb qualifiers and England might be ahead in the race for commitment. Aird25, Ol'Bill, Northvansteve and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
